Every year, about now
Growing season ends
in October.
- The garden's frozen. Nothing to pick until spring.
- The store's no help. Most grocery stores don't carry Lion's Mane at all, and the oysters they do carry come shrink-wrapped.
- Furnace air is desert air. It's why your lips crack in January. Most houseplants hate it too.
Here's the good news
A mushroom doesn't need a garden. It needs a counter, a spray bottle and two weeks.
That makes winter the one season you can grow fresh food indoors without lights, soil or a greenhouse.

Who grows your kit
My family calls me Tiller. I grow your mushrooms.
I've spent about ten years in the woods around Buckhannon, learning mushrooms one find at a time. The more I learn, the less I know, and that's the fun of it.
Every ShroomBag starts on hardwood in our lab here in Buckhannon. I grow it, pack it and ship it, with help from my family, so the bag that reaches you is fresh and alive.
My favorite part is still the week after you cut the bag, when the first cluster shows up. That's what I want on your counter this winter.
Tyler, Maya Mushroom
How it works
Three steps. No experience.
01
Cut
One 4 to 5 inch cut on the front of the bag. The hard part, sterilizing and colonizing the block, is already done.
02
Mist
Spray the opening twice a day. In a dry winter house, three times. Keep it off the heat vent.
03
Harvest
About 14 days to your first harvest, 7 to 10 for Pink Oyster. Soak the block and most give a second flush.

For a cool roomBlue Oyster
Cold nights are Blue Oyster weather. A cool mudroom or a garage that stays above freezing brings thicker caps. The most forgiving kit we make.
The one stores don't carryLion's Mane
Most grocery stores don't sell it at all. It pulls apart in long, sweet shreds that eat like lump crab. Harvest in about 14 days.

Now you may be thinking
Fair questions.
"I kill houseplants."
So do a lot of our growers. The steps that take skill, sterilizing, inoculating and colonizing the block, are done before it ships. You handle the last step, which is mostly misting.
"Will it grow in my house in winter?"
Yes. It's an indoor kit. Keep it away from heat registers and space heaters, and mist a little more when the furnace is running. A bathroom counter or the spot by the sink stays the most humid.
"What if it doesn't grow?"
If your kit doesn't pin within 30 days while following the guide, we replace it or refund you. No return shipping.
"How do I cancel a subscription?"
One click. The Manage subscription page sends us a ready-made cancel email, and once Stripe's customer portal is on you can cancel there yourself. Cancel at least 2 days before your next delivery.
Fresh mushrooms on the table this holiday season.

Why buy from one guy in West Virginia? Fair question.
I've spent over a decade foraging these woods and four years working cultures in the lab. I isolate, grow, pack and ship everything myself, with help from my family.
